He’s easily the best in the industry
I can’t understand how everyone’s not all over him like they are with Frank Ocean
There’s an entire video where Brent and his manager talk about being independent and the type of stuff they do
also his popularity is another piece of evidence to show how strong TikTok can be.
Did any of his songs blow up on tiktok?
I think 'Trust' did
Talk 2 U and the stuff with Sonder is great. I don't f*** with much else. Trying to though lol
Someone posted unreleased loosies in a thread once and honestly it was some of thee best s*** I’ve heard by him

Eh I think Brent is better, but I can see why more people flock to Frank
He's independent? Oh he getting to the bag then, his career is on a good trajectory. My girls plays this nigga once a day and I gotta admit as samey as his singing can be sometimes, that nigga is NICE. I didn't know him outside of the Goldlink feature
news flash: chance wasn't independent and neither was X
X only had a distribution deal though. how wasn't Chance?

Chance did a deal with Apple Music that was structured literally exactly the same as a label deal except he kept his masters. Marketing, tour support, digital, etc. X did a deal with a major prior to his death. Even Brent has a distro deal with Sony

Wasn't the XXX deal before his death w/ Universal under Caroline, which is still strictly distribution? had no idea about the apple thing w/ Chance though, thanks

dead man walking another one all over tik tok rn
They invest in your brand not talent.
his brand kinda bigger than his music tho unfortunately i know girls who only know him as an instagram nigga
and i'm not talking music wise (although he is in that category too). There hasn't been an artist to get this big while independent since XXX or Chance (R.I.P. his career). I think Brent will motivate other artists to not sign in the future, much like Master P did to him.

sidenote: really unbelievable that him and his manager went to every label, and they wouldn't give him at least 150k for an advance and 18% of royalties, but somebody like Summrs is able to get 500k (not knocking summrs, but Brent is an undeniable talent).

i really hope less artists sign in the future, it's more easier today if you get a good manager that can form a team for you
summrs probably had low royalties. and these labels aren't stupid, they know how much his catalog is worth and how much they'll make off it in the future. they want as much as they can get
everything meant to be b
i’m glad they tried to son him so now he an independent goat
idk if the article has the video, but there’s a mini tour docu where they break down a little bit about how they reach to fans using the internet.
inspirational fr and i think he channeling an energy that hasn’t been tapped into for ahile, exactly like u saying.
was thinkin about making a thread about this but more on the creative side of things. he a generational talent, blessed to be apart of it
